The students escaping the ghetto will still be getting a measurably better education on the strained suburban school than they will at the ghetto school they're currently stuck in.

What about the kids who go to the suburban school? Kids from the ghettos can simultaneously be the victims and causes of the state of their school.

Just an anecdote, I went to an upper middle class suburban high school. The poorest kids in my school were the biggest bullies and class disruptors.

Does "escaping" imply segregating one's child from the "ghetto school"?

All parents who love their children would "segregate" them from awful schools if they could. The whole point of thread originator was that geographical restrictions are more unfair to the poor than they are to anyone else.
